Add an Alert Message to a Raw Material

You may want to order an ingredient in groups of 5, or you may want to remind your staff to enter the contract number on a purchase order so that you get your deal pricing. Reminders can be be put in an alert, which will appear in a pop-up whenever a purchase order containing the raw material is opened.

Alerts are fully customizable, and set individually for raw materials, allowing you to customize what needs a reminder and what that reminder is.

To put an alert on a raw material, follow these steps: 

1. Navigate to the Inventory Centre then click the Raw Materials button.
   
                                     
2. Select the Raw Material and double click or highlight the applicable Raw Materials and click Edit in the bottom left corner.
   
                                           
3. In the Alert text box enter in a message you would like to appear upon creating a Purchase Order with this Raw Material included.
   
                                      
4. Click OK to save.
   

Alerts can also be set for suppliers and for customers. To see how, see our support articles Add an Alert Message to a Supplier and Add an Alert Message to a Customer.
